What's up, guys? I've been a member for a couple months now, but this is only the second time I have hit the forums. Didn't see this topic the first time around.
I have watched a bunch of videos and I am pretty impressed. Just this weekend, I have started to practice a few of the lessons and exercises and am very pleased. Making progress. I have been playing for about 10 years, but was primarily an acoustic player/singer for almost all of that time. I played quite a few small gigs as a solo act until 2001 when I broke my arm in 11 pieces training in Jiu-Jitsu. No that is not a typo. Two stainless steel plates and 9 titanium screws later and my arm is one piece again. Unfortunately, I couldn't play guitar for about 18 months after the accident. When I did get back to it, by the time I got my technique to what it was before, I had a wife, two kids, a full time job, etc... Never did get back to gigging. Recently, my passion for guitar has been renewed. But this time, I am concentrating on electric. I sold off some guitars and equipment that I no longer use/need and with the proceeds I have bought a shiny new Eric Johnson signature Strat. WOOOOT! I'm ready to shred! I've started with Pavel's alternate picking vids as well as some great exercises I found at http://ultimate-guitar.com. Not sure if that's cool or not, but it doesn't seem like a competing site, so I put it in there. If anyone has issues with it, just delete it or let me know and I'll delete it. Anyway, great site! I'm thrilled that I found it as I KNOW it will greatly improve my chops! Thanks, Kevin This post has been edited by urbluffingme: Jan 4 2008, 10:57 PM -------------------- Gear:
